Well, just this morning Brian phoned whilst he was out looking for a Christmas tree. We left it all a bit late so there were only a few left. He said the only big ones left were pretty pathetic-looking. I said, ‘You’ve got to get the most pathetic one!’ Then started to tell him about ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ and started to cry.

He took a photo of the two ‘rubbish’ trees and asked which one I preferred. Though neither of them look *too* bad to me, I chose the one on the left. He said that was the one he left most sorry for. :)

For you Brits who haven’t experienced the absolute joy and pleasure of ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’, here you go:

Well, the tress is up, but not decorated yet. Whilst it’s not that bad at all, the trunk is certainly nowhere near being straight. It was quite difficult to get it looking like it’s standing up straight…
